The earth does not emit visible light, we can only feel these radiations as heat

The atmosphere absorbs the electromagnetic solar radiation.
The three major forms of emitted ionizing radiation are Alpha, Beta and Gamma.
The types of radiation that are emitted from the Sun.
The atmosphere is heated chiefly by radiation from Earth's surface rather than by direct solar radiation because about 50 percent of the solar energy is absorbed at Earth's surface. 30 percent is reflected back to space. 20 percent is absorbed by clouds and the atmosphere's gases.
Longer than those emitted by the Sun
In fact, radiations are reflected by earth but not emitted.
Only the sun emits radiation in the wavelengths of visible light, which is considerably higher energy than infrared emitted by Earth.
no
Terrestrial radiation refers to heat emitted from the earth's atmosphere and surface.
because they do not go to the same direction e.g the short-wave radiation heats the earth and the long-wave radiation heats the atmosphere.
The Earth emits thermal radiation of a much lower intensity in the infrared rather than visible region . The wavelength of infrared rays is around 10^-6 meter.
The radiant entergy emitted by Earth
The radiation emitted by the Earth peaks around 10 microns, whereas that from the sun peaks under 1 micron. This is why Earth's radiation is referred to as longwave and solar radiation as shortwave, commonly. All objects emit radiation because all objects have a temperature. In fact, using Wien's Law you can very simply calculate the wavelength, lambda, of maximum emission: lamda(max) = c/T where c is a constant (2897) and T is the temperature of the emitting surface in Kelvin.
Heat rises from the surface of the earth in the form of infra-red radiation.

From Secret Diamond: "Diamond fluorescence is the visible wavelengths emitted by diamond when excited by invisible radiation." You can read more about it, below.
